Limbach, Slovakia

Limbach (historically in Slovak: Hliník, German: Limbach, Hungarian: Limpak) is a municipality in western Slovakia in Pezinok District in the Bratislava Region, under the Little Carpathians.

The town was established around 1350, when Béla IV of Hungary invited German settlers to inhabit lands.

The village remained predominantly German until 1945, when most of them were expelled from Slovakia to Germany and were replaced by settlers from the regions around Myjava, Stará Turá, and Bošáca.

The expresident of Slovakia Ivan Gašparovič has a residence there.
